So today i had a strange revelation which has the potential for a PSA in #gischat : while our #mapcache powered #wmts for #historicalmap in Hessen has worked from the start in #qgis i have received reports from #arcmap users (v10) that they could not use the service. It was showing the notorious red exclamation mark. Not being #opensource there was no way to determine the reason it failed. Turns out it was a colon in the scale (1:25.000) in the metadata title Tag. IMHO a tale to #switch2qgis

ArcMap 10.x --> ArcGIS Pro

With ArcMap 10.x retiring…
From someone who has been using Pro for a couple of years now, when I have (word used specifically) to open ArcGIS 10.x for legacy apps, I shiver in UNanticipation...

I have to use python in #ArcMap 10.8 for a job, which made me remember my undergraduate when I detested #GIS because of the software design. Times have changed, but my hatred is still the same for trying to herd cats and get it to do what I need it to do. /internally screaming
(Big fan of Pro, though I am more QGIS now.)

In addition to trail maintenance … a big part of my #Volunteer efforts at #OxleyNatureCenter are to maintain their #GIS data for #Trails, #Wetlands, #Ecotones, buildings and inventory. I started the project on #ArcMap and #QGIS, but had to transition to #ArcPro. That transition has not been as smooth as hoped. Much of the annotation converted to graphics and are not editable. Does anyone have
experience in repairing this? I am at the point of just rebuilding annotation to move forward.
